The Pathways to Leadership "Strategic Planning" seminar was a turning point for our company...The absolutely incredible follow-up that they do with an organization is amazing."

Jan Zoucha, Director, Human Resources

Ford Thailand

"In July (2006) AAT conducted a mini pulse survey to gauge the employee satisfaction at AAT. The good news is that our team in Purchasing achieved a 83% employee satisfaction rating which was the highest in AAT and also a 30% increase over last year. The best news though is that the team member that I have been writing to you about who had some leadership challenges achieved a rating of 96% - yes 96% which is approximately a 80% improvement over last year. These results are in my mind no doubt due to the use of the Pathways (to Leadership) Tools."

Sanjay Lamba, Executive General Manager Auto Alliance Thailand
